This is the much-touted new book by Australian author Kate Grenville. Grenville's last book, The Secret River, won the Commonwealth Writers Prize and was shortlisted for the Man Booker. Unfortunately The Lieutenant is very much within the shadow of The Secret River and quite simply fails to live up to Grenville's previous standard.
Whilst beautifully written, the story just doesn't engage the reader.
To Be Continued....
